About this tour
The full-day jeep safari reaches parts of the park that half-day drives never see. You head west through sal forest, open grassland and around lakes, stopping wherever the guide spots movement.
Midday brings you to Kasara, the park headquarters, where the gharial breeding center shows the long-snouted river crocodile up close. The return drive takes a different route, often the best time for rhinos and deer as the heat eases.
It is a long, bumpy day, but it gives the best odds of the shier animals.
